ARLT 101G | the American War in Vietnam Prof. Viet Nguyen Class ARLT 101G | The American War in Vietnam Prof. Viet Nguyen Class meets TTH 12:30-1:50, in THH 201, with an additional discussion section and film screenings. Film screenings and locations are in the syllabus below. Office hours: T 2-4, W 1-2, and by appointment Office location: THH 404D Contact information: [email protected] or 213-740-3746. Emails preferred, as I hardly ever check my office voicemail. Teaching assistants Deborah Al-Najjar, Robert Eap, and Viet Le will provide their own section syllabi with office hours and contact information. COURSE OVERVIEW The Vietnam War is still invoked in debates over current American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This course provides an introduction to the war’s history in order for today’s Americans to understand some of the key factors leading the US into its current geopolitical situation. Since the war remains poorly understood and remembered, the course begins over a century ago in the French colonial era (1887-1954), spends the bulk of its time on the period of American involvement (1954-1975), and ends with postwar legacies in Southeast Asia and the United States. The course is a multidisciplinary, multicultural and international overview of the war’s history and its afterlife in American and Vietnamese memory. Student reading will draw primarily from films, literature, art, journalism, historical writing, and political discourse, while lectures will provide necessary historical and political background. The course corrects a fundamental flaw in the American pedagogy and scholarship on Vietnam, which mostly sees the country, people, and war purely from the perspective of American self-interest and ethnocentrism. In contrast, this courses stresses the diversity of American experiences, the importance of Vietnamese points of view, and the existence of international actors in the war who were neither American nor Vietnamese. Students will develop critical thinking skills through 1) writing papers and 2) working in collaborative teams to develop the course’s public project, an online memorial featuring oral histories of the war’s witnesses and testimonies to the dead. Using a lo-tech approach to multimedia, “The American War in Vietnam” actively involves students in engaging with history, sharing their work with the general public, and constructing a digital memorial. The papers will be 5-7 page analytical essays addressing the texts of the course, where students will be required to study these texts closely. Besides learning critical thinking skills and acquiring knowledge about the war, what students will take away from the course is a set of multimedia skills and the ability to use them to share their scholarship and ideas with the general public. The goals of the course for student learning are: 1) to provide a multidisciplinary overview of the history of the war and its afterlife. 2) to address a diversity of ethnic, cultural, and national memories about the war. 3) to actively involve students in engaging with history via multimedia. The American War in Vietnam 2 4) to have students share their work with the general public via the course website, www.anotherwarmemorial.com. Later classes will also contribute to this site, which will be of scholarly and general use. 5) to prepare students to think critically and analytically, both in general and in relationship to the Vietnam War. The development of the multimedia component of this course is made possible by a grant from the Fund for Innovative Undergraduate Teaching. GRADING AND ASSIGNMENTS Attendance and Participation via Discussion Sections 10% Unannounced Quizzes 10% Three Papers, 5-7 pages 20% each, 60% total Team Multimedia Project 20% Attendance is mandatory: in lecture, in discussion section and at film screenings. Discussion sections have their own attendance policy; see your section syllabus. For the class as a whole, attendance will be accounted for in a variety of ways, including quizzes (missed quizzes will count as an absence) and class participation (if I call your name in class and ask for your opinion and you are not present, that is an absence). Only two unexcused absences are allowed; a third unexcused absence results in a 10% automatic deduction from your grade. Every unexcused absence results in a further deduction of 3%. Participation in sections is both verbal and written; besides classroom participation, students are also expected to post weekly comments or responses that are thoughtful and substantive on Blackboard, an electronic resource for the class, which can be accessed at https://blackboard.usc.edu/. Blackboard comments are run through the discussion section, but I wll read them and draw on them for my lecture and will make reference to them in lecture. Come prepared to lecture with what you have written on your Blackboard comments. Classroom and online participation is essential to the class, and will significantly impact your grade. Unannounced quizzes will cover only factual questions that are related to the reading. The reading will be paced proportionally by the number of allotted days. It is important that you keep up with the reading, as you will not be able to participate without having done so. The quizzes will have a significant impact on your final grade. Quizzes cannot be made up, except in cases of documented illness and emergency. Quizzes will be conducted for the entire lecture using remote clickers, which each student should purchase from the bookstore and have ready by January 18th. Clickers will be used in lecture for ungraded polling and for graded quizzes. These polls and quizzes will also constitute the attendance record for each student. Students can anticipate daily polls and/or quizzes. There will be three research papers of 5-7 page research papers. There will be a later handout with further information about topics. Strict late penalties of 1/3 grade deduction per 24 hours of tardiness will apply, except in cases of documented illness and emergency. Using everyday technology like cellphone cameras or digital cameras with video functions, students will work in teams of three or four to either profile someone who died in the war or as a direct result of the war, or interview a witness to the war. Students will also provide contextual material for understanding the historical experiences of the witnesses or the dead. The class will produce about forty such oral histories or profiles of the dead per semester. Students will post interviews or testimonies to a public course blog, called “Another Vietnam Memorial” (www.anotherwarmemorial.com). The blog will be the archive for an expanding body of such work, which will be of scholarly and general use.

    New Economies of Sex and Intimacy in Vietnam by Kimberly Kay Hoang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Barrie Thorne Professor Irene Bloemraad Professor Peter Zinoman Fall 2011 New Economies of Sex and Intimacy Copyright 2011 by Kimberly Kay Hoang Abstract New Economies of Sex and Intimacy in Vietnam by Kimberly Kay Hoang Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Over the past two decades, scholars have paid particular attention to the growth of global sex tourism, a trade marked by convergence between the global and local production and consumption of sexual services. In the increasingly global economy, the movement of people and capital around the world creates new segments of sex work, with diverse groups of consumers and providers. This dissertation examines the dialectical link between intimacy and political economy. I examine how changes in the global economy structure relations of intimacy between clients and sex workers; and how intimacy can be a vital form of currency that shapes economic and political relations. I trace new economies of sex and intimacy in Vietnam by moving from daily worlds of sex work in Ho Chi Minh City [HCMC] to incorporate a more structural and historical analysis. Drawing on 15 months of ethnography (2009-2010) working as a bartender and hostess I analyze four different bars that cater to wealthy local Vietnamese men and their Asian business partners, overseas Vietnamese men living in the diaspora, Western expatriates, and Western budget travelers.

    P A G E 1 Le Ly Hayslip Le Ly Hayslip is born in Ky La outside Da Nang in South Vietnam 1949. She shares her time between Escondido California and Vietnam. Le Ly Hayslip is an award-winning author of two memoirs that later served as the basis for the Oliver Stone film Heaven and Earth. She has founded two charitable organizations: East Meets West Foundation and Global Village Foundation for humanitarian and emergency assistance to the needy in Vietnam. “In Vietnam - We call it The American War ” "In Vietnam - We call it The American War. When you say "The Vietnam War" to an American in the general public people think it's a - Hellhole. A killing field. A battle zone. A Hamburger Hill. A test of friendship. A red communist. Boatpeople. POW. MIA. Viet Cong. Charlie. Big bombs, little bombs, hand grenades, bullets. Condoms, Whiskey, cigarettes. There's is nothing good about my country. But the question is - How did it get that way? How did it become a Hamburger Hill? We don't know what hamburger is". P A G E 1 P A G E 2 As the government and Viet Cong fought in and around Ky La, both sides recruited children as spies and saboteurs. Le Ly was one of those children. The youngest of six children in close-knit Buddhist family, Le Ly was twelve years old when the U.S helicopters landed in Ky Ly, her small village in central Vietnam. Before the age of sixteen, she had suffered near starvation, imprisonment, torture and rape.

  • War, Women, Vietnam: the Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978
    War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, Chair Susan Glenn Christoph Giebel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2013 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn University of Washington Abstract War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn Chair of the Supervisory Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, History This dissertation proceeds with two profoundly interwoven goals in mind: mapping the experience of women in the Vietnam War and evaluating the ways that ideas about women and gender influenced the course of American involvement in Vietnam. I argue that between 1954 and 1978, ideas about women and femininity did crucial work in impelling, sustaining, and later restraining the American mission in Vietnam. This project evaluates literal images such as photographs, film and television footage as well as images evoked by texts in the form of news reports, magazine articles, and fiction, focusing specifically on images that reveal deeply gendered ways of seeing and representing the conflict for Americans. Some of the images I consider include a French nurse known as the Angel of Dien Bien Phu, refugees fleeing for southern Vietnam in 1954, the first lady of the Republic of Vietnam Madame Nhu, and female members of the National Liberation Front. Juxtaposing images of American women, I also focus on the figure of the housewife protesting American atrocities in Vietnam and the use of napalm, and images wrought by American women intellectuals that shifted focus away from the military and toward the larger social and psychological impact of the war.

  • The Work of Le Ly Hayslip
    AMNESIAC MEMORY, MELANCHOLIC REMEMBRANCE AMNESIAC MEMORY, MELANCHOLIC REMEMBRANCE: THE WORK OF LE LY HAYSLIP By VINHNGUYEN, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Vinh Nguyen, September 2009 MASTER OF ARTS (2009) McMaster University (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Amnesiac Memory, Melancholic Remembrance: The Work ofLe Ly Hayslip AUTHOR: Vinh Nguyen, B.A. (University of Calgary) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Donald Goellnicht NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 94 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines how America's cultural and historical memory forgets or problematically remembers Vietnam and the Vietnamese people(s) through the most prominent Vietnamese American texts, Le Ly Hayslip's When Heaven and Earth Changed Places and Child of War, Woman of Peace, and Oliver Stone's filmic adaptation of Hayslip's memoirs, Heaven and Earth. In the U.S., thirty years after the end of the Vietnam War, there is a vast archive of history books, memoirs, films and other cultural products about the War, yet the Vietnamese peoples(s) are conspicuously absent in these discourses. In the American context of historical amnesia, Vietnam (the country) is forgotten and the Vietnamese people(s) are denied subjectivity, their numerous losses remaining disavowed and un-moumed. I argue that Hayslip's books represent acts of mouming. She achieves this mouming by engaging with her losses and those of the Vietnamese people(s) in a productive way, using them as means to attain voice / SUbjectivity and to counter the American forgetting of Vietnamese causalities and losses.

  • Criticizing War Through Hollywood
    Bachelor Thesis American Studies CRITICIZING WAR THROUGH HOLLYWOOD ANTI-WAR SENTIMENT IN OLIVER STONE’S VIETNAM WAR FILM TRILOGY by Jen Ingrid Supervisor: Dr. László Muntéan Radboud University Nijmegen June 2017 Ingrid s4468686/1 ENGELSE TAAL EN CULTUUR Teacher who will receive this document: L. Muntéan Title of document: Bachelor Thesis Name of course: BA Thesis American Studies Date of submission: 15 June, 2017 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed Name of student: Jen Ingrid Student number: s4468686 Ingrid s4468686/2 ABSTRACT This research examines Oliver Stone’s Vietnam War film trilogy, which consists of Platoon (1986), Born on the Fourth of July (1989), and Heaven & Earth (1993), and analyzes theme-based scenes that visually represent U.S. anti-war sentiment against the Vietnam War. The chosen themes are dominant and major themes regarding the war, namely PTSD, violence, and death. Inspired by the work of David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson, I will use two cinematic techniques – mise-en-scène and cinematography – for the analyses of the scenes. This project aims to distinguish the ways a theme is embedded in each film and ultimately, it will answer the question of how Stone’s Vietnam War films differ from each other in portraying U.S. anti-war sentiment against the Vietnam War. Keywords: Oliver Stone, Platoon (1986), Born on the Fourth of July (1989), Heaven & Earth (1993), Vietnam War, anti-war sentiment, PTSD, violence, death, mise-en-scène, cinematography Ingrid s4468686/3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ...............................................................................................................................................

    METHODOLOGICAL APPENDIX When children of Vietnam Veterans tell their stories of the trauma of the Vietnam War, whose story are they relying upon? A related and even more problematic question also remains: are the stories they tell based on reality or some mythologized story of the past? How can I tell the difference between fact and fiction? How can I tell the difference between my interviewees’ stories and social narratives? More impor- tantly, how do these questions take my research to a productive place? In this appendix, I briefly discuss my methodology, explaining how analyzing narratives is never about isolating a nugget of truth or staking a claim on the possession of pieces of stories of the past. Analyzing nar- ratives is about recognizing the contradictory existence of two equally powerful and integral aspects of social life: the hardened structures, dominant fictions we might call them, that provide grounding upon which most of us construct our lives; and the dynamic, fluid, nearly impossible to articulate, affectual life we all live. The narratives my interviewees tell me are guided by both of these parts of social life. Some move between them more successfully than others and some depend on one far more than the other but they always recognize the existence of some larger story at work in their struggle to talk about the trauma they recognize (even at its most imperceptible level) in their fathers. This appendix is a series of meditations that explores what it means to develop a method of inquiry into traumatic impulses and the subtle transmissions of social life.
